This is the body composition scale that displays all readings simultaneously for simple, instant reference. The 5"-wide LCD shows readings for weight, body fat, body water percentage, and bone mass at the same time, eliminating the hassle of navigating several screens. Stainless steel electrodes on the scale's surface generate a harmless electrical impulse (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) to obtain readings, a method proven to be more accurate than the body mass index method used by typical scales. The scale stores readings for up to four people, allowing a family to easily track progress. The scale has a soft, rubberized non-slip surface, 450-lb. capacity, and it displays weights in 0.1-lb. increments. Includes a lithium-ion battery. Not for use by those with pacemakers. 12 3/4" L x 12" W x 1 1/2" H. (4 1/4 lbs.)

This product is over rated. Information it provides is inaccurate as it does not agree with my doctor's figures. If I still had the box, I would send it back. Doesn't function right and always shows errors.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. Here are some tips for using this scale for accuracy and proper use. Stay stationary, do not move (for better accuracy). Put the scale on a flat surface floor (not carpet). For the most accurate results, step on the scale barefoot with your feet on the electrodes. Note the scale will error if you: a.)don't wait for the 0.0 to appear, b.)stand on the scale or hold their foot on it too long (must tap to turn on), c.) feet aren't bare and/or aren't on the electrodes or d.) weight exceeds scales limit. Please remember that we have a lifetime guarantee on this product. Our customer service team is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-321-1484 to assist you.

This scale does not store your weight from weigh in to weigh in, disappointing. It is hard to get the readings without standing in a way that feels unstable. The readings disappear very quickly and do not store so you have no idea what progress you might be making. It ends up being no better than a plain old scale.

Now that we have figured out the ideosyncrasies of the scale it is fine. The first ideosyncrasy is it wouldn't work on our carpet so I had to make a wooden "plate" for it to sit on; no mention had been made of this limitation. The second is your feet must be moist in order to make electrical contact or you only get the weight reading; we now have to wet the bottoms of our feet to get any readout other than weight.

Nice weight with easy to read display and relatively easy to use. It's trivial for weight only, but I took 1 star out because pushing User button prompts to wait to display all parameters before measurements can be taken. That's ridiculous to do every time. Would be nice to have "push, hop on, measure, hop off" routine instead. If you are not patient enough, watch trains you by showing error and forcing to repeat the whole procedure again. That's annoying.

This scale is fine if you are looking for a basic scale. However, the body fat measurement is WAY off base. I had some salty food and according to this scale, my body fat increased by over 7% the next day, with my weight remaining exactly the same.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. It's important to keep in mind that fluctuations to body fat measurement will occur based on factors such as hydration, activity levels and skin temperature. As with measuring weight, it is best to measure results week to week rather than day to day due to fluctuations from different factors. The product manual provides some additional information on what to expect.
